Amazon’s Ring rolls out controversial, AI-powered facial-recognition feature to video doorbells
The feature lets you identify the people who regularly come to your door by creating a catalog of up to 50 faces. The company says the Ring feature is opt in and the biometric data isn’t used to train AI models.

Cisco Released Cisco Time Series Model: Their First Open-Weights Foundation Model based on Decoder-only Transformer Architecture
Cisco and Splunk have introduced the Cisco Time Series Model, a univariate zero shot time series foundation model designed for observability and security metrics. It is released as an open weight checkpoint on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, and it targets forecasting workloads without task specific fine tuning. The model extends TimesFM 2.0 with an explicit multiresolution architecture that fuses coarse and fine history in one context window. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19841 Why observability needs multiresolution context? Production metrics […]

New software designs eco-friendly clothing that can reassemble into new items
It’s hard to keep up with the ever-changing trends of the fashion world. What’s “in” one minute is often out of style the next season, potentially causing you to re-evaluate your wardrobe. Staying current with the latest fashion styles can be wasteful and expensive, though. Roughly 92 million tons of textile waste are produced annually, including the clothes we discard when they go out of style or no longer fit. But what if we could simply reassemble our clothes […]

Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality
Author(s): VARUN MISHRA Originally published on Towards AI. Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality Machine translation has come a long way, from clunky rule-based systems to sleek neural models like Transformers. But how do we know if a machine’s translation is any good? Enter the BLEU score — a go-to metric for evaluating machine translation quality. Short for Bilingual Evaluation Understudy, BLEU is like a judge that compares a machine’s output to human […]

New method improves the reliability of statistical estimations
Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]
